teaching help

[aeisen at biology.emory.edu]

uroists,

i teach an honors intro biology course and am looking for good model systems
for the study of development,
an organism that i can teach the basics about to a class
and then have the class in small groups develop and perform their own 1-2
mo. long experiments on.
two basic questions:
*is this feasible with axolotls as far as set up and cost?
*if so where can i find some good stuff on the types of expts one could do
with axolotls in such a setting?

thank you for your help,
arri
